Bengaluru is currently under a yellow alert issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) for heavy rainfall and thunderstorms expected until May 25. The alert follows intense premonsoon thundershowers that struck the city on Thursday evening, causing widespread disruptions. Rainfall reached 44.2mm in the city, with localized areas experiencing varying amounts. Wind speeds during the storm peaked at 46 km/h, leading to uprooted trees and fallen electricity poles, which resulted in traffic chaos. The Namma Metro services were particularly affected, with delays on the Purple and Green Lines due to metal sheets falling onto the tracks. Commuters faced severe inconveniences, particularly in low-lying areas like Sankey Road and Brigade Road, which experienced significant flooding. Fortunately, no injuries were reported despite the damage. The Greater Bengaluru Authority reported nearly 50 incidents of fallen trees, highlighting the storm's impact on the city's infrastructure. Weather conditions are expected to improve from May 26 onwards.
